About 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, 29 grams of heroin, 21 grams of marijuana and more than 1,650 ecstasy pills were seized Mar. 17 following raids on eight properties and a search of one vehicle, police said.

All of the drugs were packaged to be sold in what police are calling a "dial-a-dope" operation.

Also seized were two prohibited semi-automatic pistols, a sawed-off shotgun, ammunition and other weapons, including bear spray and brass knuckles.

There was also a large amount of cash.

Thirty charges have been laid, including trafficking drugs, illegal firearms possession and possession of stolen property.
